Preventative Maintenance - Check Your Eyes

Screw In Pad Eyes.......:D

This is the third one that I had snap on me this year. They are the original ones that came with the kayak so obviously 3-4 years of hard use will make this happen. I had to get a little creative........rod leash saved the day:luxhello::luxhello:

all of those monster halibut do put an awful strain on the eyes after awhile...

I would consider Matt or Roby trying to straddle you on the yak as excessive use. :eek:

Stopped at OEX today to get some screw in eye doohikees and decided to also get the shaft that locks in the drive, the one that I had was worn and allowed some extra side-side play. I couldn't believe it but all I needed was a hammer and wa-la!!!!!!

you were not kidding, hard to believe that the nylon polished off that much stainless steel.

Did I mention pushing the old shaft through with the new shaft keeps it all from exploding! :D

No, you didn't but I figured it out shortly after the fact :mad:

How long did it take to wear like that? Must be a lot of beach work.
